The fleet did not go to Naqiu Port, but went directly to Puzhou Port. The main reason was that two large aircraft carriers and two fast battleships needed to return to the shipyard for necessary inspections.

It was the day I arrived at Puzhou Port that I received reliable news.

The fleet that had set out from the Kingdom of Bran before and headed to the Fortress of Zhiluo did not go south, but turned to return to the Kingdom of Bran in the Bay of Biscay.

After that, the Royal Brand Navy began to lay mines inside the Dover Strait.

Strictly speaking, it is actually to expand the range of the minefield and increase the minefield density.

Shortly after the outbreak of the war, the Royal Bran Navy blasted in the Dover Strait and used mines to prevent the Torman army from launching landing operations.

Of course, the effect is very good.

However, the mine-sweeping ability demonstrated by the Imperial Navy must have surprised the Royal Navy of Bran, which is enough to prove that there were not enough mines deployed in the Strait of Dover before.

The key is that almost all are old-fashioned mines.

What happened in the Mande Strait and the Xifan Canal has long proved that the old-fashioned mines produced during the last war could not even hinder the Imperial Navy's minesweepers.

Even if there is a certain threat, it cannot discourage the minesweeper.

The Zhilu Fortress is about to fall, the Raleigh fleet has entered the Xiluo Ocean, and the special mixed fleet of the Imperial Navy is in the Xinhai of the West Land.

Perhaps in a few months, a combat operation to attack Bran's homeland will be launched.

Not to mention how many troops we have to invest or how difficult the combat is, it is completely unimaginable that the Allied forces cross the Dover Strait and land on Bran.

Obviously, the Allied Allied Forces could be prevented from crossing the Dover Strait, no longer the Royal Bran Navy, but the mines that are inseparable from the enemy and us.

In addition, the fleet can no longer reach the Zhiluo Strait.

Those tens of thousands of mines must be found to use them!

This means that the attack on the Zhiluo Fortress will no longer be delayed.

On this day, the fully prepared army launched an operation to attack the Zhenlu Fortress, and the Sban army also participated in the war simultaneously.

To be said, the performance of the Sban army is at least the enthusiasm for combat far exceeds that of the Raleigh army.

The reason is that the strategic bombing of the Kingdom of Sban by the Kingdom of Bran and the Newland Federation made the kingdom tens of millions of soldiers and civilians of the kingdom share the same hatred for the enemy.

Although the equipment is poor and the skills and tactics of the officers and soldiers are not very good, the courage shown by the Sban army is indeed worthy of admiration and respect.

The Imperial Navy's Special Mixed Fleet is still the one who acts as a vanguard.

It’s not that the Tsuman Air Force’s investment is not enough, but that the carrier-based aviation force has higher combat efficiency.

In order to increase the dispatch rate of carrier-based aircraft, Liu Xiangzhen arranged for the 32nd Special Mixed Fleet to sail to the sea less than 100 kilometers away from the direct-down fortress. Moreover, the 31st Special Mixed Fleet followed about 100 kilometers behind, thus controlling the round-trip flight time of carrier-based aircraft to within one hour.

The key is that it can allow carrier-based aircraft to carry missiles to perform patrol missions.

Simply put, it means carrying a bomb to patrol the battlefield, dropping the bomb and launching an attack after discovering the target.

Obviously, this is something that the Tactical Air Force of the Talented Air Force cannot do.

Because the base is on the Balearic Islands, hundreds of kilometers away from the Pilo Fortress, and mainly due to a field airport with harsh conditions and simple facilities, the tactical combat aircraft of the Thaman Air Force must drop bombs immediately after arriving at the battlefield, otherwise they will not be able to fly back.

As for heavy bombers with longer ranges, there is a problem of insufficient bomb drop accuracy.

The Tik Fortress is a narrow military fortress, built on the peninsula, with an area of ​​less than one square kilometer, and there is no need for large-scale bombing.

In Li Yunxiang's words, if heavy bombers drop bombs at high altitude, most of the bombs will fall into the sea.

Otherwise, the Imperial Aircraft Expeditionary Brigade would have taken action long ago.

In addition, the Thaman Air Force does not have many heavy bombers.

Although the Imperial Army Aviation Strategic Aviation has long proved the power of strategic bombing, it also proved the value of heavy bombers. Moreover, the Tyman Empire itself is a victim of strategic bombing, but to this day, the Tyman Empire has not manufactured many heavy bombers and relied more on the Imperial Army Aviation Expeditionary Team.

It’s not that the Tyman Empire does not attach importance to strategic bombers, but that it does not have that ability.

The difficulty of developing strategic bombers is not as difficult as building a special mixed fleet.

In addition, it is also related to the situation of the Tyman Empire.

Whether in the west, east, or even in the battlefield around the land and heart sea, what the Thaman army needs most is actually tactical aviation.

The Fifteen Empire swept across the Western Continent, withstood the crazy attack of Luosha's army, and the expedition to the Beixuan area was a blitzkrieg initiated by the armored forces.

However, how many people know that the soul of blitzkrieg is not only armored troops, but also powerful aerial assault forces.

That's right, it's the tactical aviation force!

To put it bluntly, the loudest thing in the attack of the Torman army is the whistling sound of "Stuka".

It is precisely because of this that the Tiaoman Air Force has always been dominated by tactical aviation.

In a sense, tactical aviation and armored forces are two complementary forces in modern warfare, and they cannot be missing either.

Of course, the Thaman Air Force did not focus on developing the strategic aviation force, and it was also related to the assistance provided by the Empire.

The Imperial aid and electrolytic aluminum sold to the Taman Empire was not as much as possible to develop strategic aviation, and was mainly strategic aviation.

It is precisely this that the Imperial Aircraft Expeditionary Air Force brigade has expanded to its current scale.

According to incomplete statistics, Imperial Aircraft has successively dispatched 4,500 combat aircraft to the Expeditionary Brigade, of which more than 3,800 heavy bombers. So far, more than 1,800 heavy bombers can still take off and fight in the western region of the Western Continent.

This scale is also the result of limited logistics support.

In order to fight in the Western Continent, the Expeditionary Air Force brigade's bombers were improved to ensure that bombs produced by the Taman Empire could be used.

Some combat aircraft have also replaced aviation machine guns.

As the sea route is opened, Imperial Aircraft will inevitably deploy more heavy bombers.

Not only targeting the Kingdom of Bran, but also in order to deal with the Luosha Federation.

Of course, these are all off-topic words.

Although they fought at home of the Tsuman Army, they met in the first few days and were actually the special mixed fleet of the Imperial Navy.

When Bai Zhizhan returned to the imperial capital, the battle over there continued.

According to the latest news, the Tyman Empire has officially sent troops to the Sban Kingdom and used the Sban Kingdom to launch an attack on the Zhilu Fortress.

Obviously, this is also to avoid excessive reliance on the Imperial Special Mixed Fleet.

After completing the early deployment, the Tiaoman army will launch a strong attack from the north.

In order to successfully capture the fortress, the Tyman Army also specially prepared five siege artillery and sent a large number of shells through the Rock Kingdom.

However, the Navy Command did not order the fleet to withdraw.

If the Thaman army fails to capture the fortress, or the siege cannons do not work, the main guns on the battleships of the Special Mix Fleet will be useful.

For this purpose, the Imperial Navy also sent a batch of special shells.

What Bai Zhizhan is concerned about now is not the battle on the other end of the world island.

The moment I returned to the imperial capital, to be precise, I left the airport and took a bus home, Bai Zhizhan clearly felt that the atmosphere in the imperial capital was a bit weird.

Not to mention anything else, there are fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the street than usual.

This is obviously abnormal!
